Pumpkin ideas

I am curious about how one can use pumpkin without making a pie or bread or soup. Those are mostly the only recipes that I can find. However, I did run across a reference to Eat.Drink.Better and its list of "beyond pie" recipes for pumpkin. The hummus and the curry sound most interesting to me.

The pumpkin interests me because its so big and, usually, comparatively cheap. One pumpkin is a lot of food! As a healthy food choice, it seems like this would be a good way to round out the diet with fiber, taste, and variety. It would also, I'm thinking, be a good way to get more pumpkin seeds!

The proof of its value will, however, be in the pudding--or the hummus and curry.
